\"SHARKS OVER CHINA--THE 23rd FIGHTER GROUP IN WORLD WAR II\" is the COMPLETE history of the most successful American fighter group in WWII! This is the very first history of the USAAF 23rd FG that incorporates General Claire Chennault\'s famous \"Flying Tigers\". During the dark days after Pearl Harbor, most news from the Asian front was bad--with the exception of reports about the Flying Tigers and their successors, the 23rd Fighter Group. Day after day in the deadly skies over China, the 23rd\'s sharkmouthed P-40s outfought the Japanese. No single American fighter group in WWII performed more varied missions, was more successful, or was more central to the war effort in it\'s theater of operations! By the end of the war, the 23rd had tallied nearly 600 Japanese kills in the air and 400 more on the ground. TONS of interviews with those who were there are here and they are MESMERIZING! Chapter titles are: 1. Desperate Days, 2. China Air Task Force, 3. Hengyang in the Crosshairs, 4. The School Squadron, 5. Branching Out, 6. Duel in the East, 7. The First Winter, 8. Fighting on Two Fronts, 9. Thrust & Parry, 10. Buildup, 11. Summer Offensive, 12. Raid on Shinchiku, 13. Defending the Rice Bowl, 14. Quiet Before the Storm, 15. Ichi-Go, 16. Fire & Fall Back, 17.
